GREIX Rental Price Index Q2 2025: Price growth levels off

In the second quarter of this year, asking rents in German cities increased only slightly, staying below the overall inflation rate. At the same time, the duration for which apartment listings remain online dropped significantly — indicating very high demand and quick re-lettings. This is reflected in the latest update of the GREIX rental price index, published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. The index analyzes asking rents for apartments based on data from the “VALUE Marktdatenbank” across 20 German cities and regions.
